Detroit: Become Human Reviews
A great adventure that looks as awesome as it plays with multiple choices that really matter and a compelling history that it's worth your time.

The story never finds its footing, its characters never feel fully realised, and as a game, all you're left with are tiresome quick time events and awkward controls, through linear corridors with tedious puzzles.
A cliche-ridden written story that has some decent ideas throughout, but is so bleak it's hard to grow attached to.
[Detroit: Become Human] is a social revolution simulator, where most of your choices actually matter, the story and characters are engaging and moving and the amount of narrative content is incredibly massive.
Detroit: Become Human wants to move you. It wants to elicit an emotional response through its story. The thing is, it really doesn't. The flowchart is a nice inclusion and adds some variance, but when the narrative is as cringey and ham-fisted as it is you won't want to play through it multiple times.
Detroit: Become Human is best when it foresees the consequences of our decisions and sets up a clear choice — or a muddy choice. It creates the illusion of the Butterfly Effect, where small actions can lead to big consequences.
David Cage's latest is a thoughtful and gripping tale of androids achieving sentience in a society with a grim history of denying freedom
Detroit is a perfect game to livestream, or play with three mates and half a bottle of tequila – but if you tell me you genuinely think the story is well done, I will immediately be sus that you, yourself, are an android poorly trying to replicate human behaviour.
Detroit: Become Human takes on complex themes about humanity and technology and is visually stunning, but it's too heavy-handed in its storytelling and has lackluster acting.
Detroit: Become Human is a cinematic masterpiece, and easily the best work to date from developer Quantic Dreams. It's gorgeous, sounds beautiful, and the choices made here are impactful and introspective. Better still, the exposed underpinnings encourage repeat playthroughs just to see where all of the rabbit holes go. Come for the storyline, stay for the thought provoking look at a potential near future for mankind, and where AI might fit within it.
Detroit: Become Human, the latest game from Heavy Rain developer Quantic Dream, tells an engaging story using some of the best graphics in any video game to date.
For better or worse, French developer Quantic Dream has forged quite the reputation for its lavish interactive dramas.
The human v android setup is hackneyed, but this choose-your-own-adventure-style descent into a near-future Detroit is served up with spellbinding artistry
Like an un-awoken android, Detroit: Become Human is a pretty exterior without anything remotely human inside.
There are some great story paths to Detroit: Become Human that can lead to different outcomes, but it's still a Quantic Dream game through and through. Expect a convoluted story that reveals itself through repeated playthroughs, characters that you grow attached to and fear to lose, and enough QTE-driven fights to make your thumbs bleed.
This is a transhumanism story for the android set. I devoured every chapter of these artificial intelligences shedding their artifice. And I learned that being human is filled with daily acts of self-sacrifice.
With amazingly realistic graphics, intense music, rich characters, and a dynamic decision scheme, this action adventure title is enthralling from it's opening scene to the very end, and if you let it, it will take you on a journey to what feels like an entirely different world.
Detroit: Become Human is simply the best Quantic Dream game and best project in interactive movies genre. The game took a step forward in the gameplay department and offered an atmospheric and exciting journey with touching story, bright characters and interesting setting.
